SUPERIOR CONTROL, CONVENIENCE AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Friedrich Kühl
®
is the first to market, and the industry leader in providing energy-efficient heat pump
technology since 1992, offering a smarter alternative to heating. Kühl is also now available in A2L-compliant
R-32 refrigerant. As more cities and states mandate lower building emissions or full electrification, our Kühl
heat pump technology can help you contribute to decarbonization goals.

1. Dense, sound-blocking insulation
2. Quiet rotary compressor mounted on
large rubber grommets
3. Steel inner walls
4. Totally-enclosed commercial grade
fan motor
5. Insulated air plenum prevents
outside air and noise intrusion
6. Two resilient rings on motor mount
prevent metal-to-metal contact,
which
eliminates extra vibration and
noise
7. Solid steel blower wheel housing for
maximum sound reduction

IS UP TO 45% QUIETER* THAN COMPETITOR’S ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS
COMMERCIAL GRADE QUALITY FOR LONG LIFE IN DEMANDING APPLICATIONS
QuietMaster
®
technology
Building the quietest air conditioners begins
with the design process and continues through
the selection of superior components and
materials.
It is shaped by skilled manufacturing and
refined through on-going product testing in our
engineering lab.
The result is a noticeably quieter cooling and
heating experience, as much as 45% quieter than
competitor’s products.

MERV 13 Filters /Filter Brackets
FreshAire
®
MERV 13 filtration is effective at capturing and removing microorganisms from the air, which according to ASHRAE*, the
leading authority on the science behind advanced indoor air quality, include harmful airborne viruses. Maintaining the best indoor air
quality possible requires that you prevent harmful pollutants from circulating throughout the space. One way to prevent this is to trap
the pollutants with mechancial filtration. Kühl
®
air conditioners can utilize an optional MERV 13 air filter, which is at least 85% efficient
at capturing particles between 1 and 3 microns in size and up to 50% efficient in filtering particles between 0.30 and 1 micron in size
such as bacteria and sneeze nuclei.
*Based on ASHRAE Guidance for Building Operations during the COVID-19 Pandemic
